Slipknot To Release Record In 2013

5/5/2012 12:30 PM ET

After much deliberation, Slipknot have announced that they plan to enter the studio early next year and release the follow-up to All Hope Is Gone later in the year.

"We've got Mayhem Festival this summer and, after we break for winter and Stone Sour are done with their tour, we'll be back in the kitchen with Slipknot," DJ Sid Wilson told NME. "Actually before Stone Sour finish touring we'll be in the studio preparing for Corey's return, keeping the irons hot."

"It'll be tough, it won't be easy, Slipknot's the biggest thing in all of our lives, but we're always going to come back to it," he added. "We're going to get it done. I'm excited and I'm ready to do it. I'm sick of hearing people talk, it's time for action. When we come together, it's badass; we need to harness that energy of the live shows. When we come together like we always do, it's going to be brutal."
